    First of all congrats on continuing your fitness so well post Military. What is your routine? Second of all I don't dress to look good at my age, I dress for comfort.

    According to dear old Mumsy, there is everything wrong with American slang - and/or British slang, Aussie slang, etc. You just don't use any slang in any formal communication.
    In my experience, sail boaters are a bit uppity and elitists. They find sail boating slang offensive.

    Flying used to be for the wealthy. Not so much any more.


    Shorts, t shirt and flip-flops for me when I'm heading to Mexico. Comfort is the top priority.

    Off topic, but I'm also old enough to remember when smoking was not only permitted on planes, the stews used to come down the aisle with wicker baskets full of these little packs of two or three cigarettes, all different brands, to pass out. My father was a pilot, so whenever we flew for his airline - which was called Lake Central at the time - the stews would give us cigarette packs, even though we were only six or seven at the time, because they knew him and knew we'd give him the smokes.

    They also passed out these awful little pre-packaged sandwiches that tasted horrible. And when the plane was a DC-3, you boarded and then had to walk up a very steep incline to get to your seat.

    I remember a time, perhaps back when air travel wasn’t just for the wealthy, that saying “hey guys” wasn’t considered offensive.

    I like to swear a lot! And I am allowed to on a few forums, which don't censor people like this one does!

    Hey, don't be attacking my friend Silvereyes - you made a spelling mistake which wasn't a typo - and she helpfully corrected it.

    I am always happy when someone corrects my English - it helps me write correctly, and when you write correctly people are more likely to take you seriously.
    Oh, I wish I were a glow worm,
    for a glow worm's never glum,
    'cause how can you be grumpy
    when the sun shines out your bum!

    She'd cry and claim you were being mean to her if one corrected her spelling.
